Hey this is my first story so be nice and review. Flames are WELCOME. Help in any way shape or form is also appreciated. This is EdwardxBella and yeah I know it's typical.

The story goes like this:Bella takes a job at the local bar, where Edward starts hiding out. He starts hearing things he doesn't like . . . but what can he do about it. It's not like he can kick 'em out or anything

Bella POV

The ticking of the clock resounded with my heartbeat. A sort of numb sadness spread through me from my chest to the very tips of my fingers.

Mom was on a date with Phil, their wedding anniversary. I didn't want to be the third wheel. It had been bad enough at my sweet sixteenth.

I peeked reluctantly up at the clock, ten till midnight.

Sighing I rolled over and squeezed my eyes shut.

This wasn't working out. I'd finish out my junior year. I'll convince her I want to stay with Charlie.

This so wasn't going to work in a million years. Maybe if I begged and cried? No, I didn't want pity; I wanted to give them room. I wanted them to give me room.

Muttering darkly I sat up and reached for Mansfield Park. It was old and the pages worn from being dog-eared but it was still soothing.

To me it was listening to stories of my childhood, I knew the words by heart.

I wonder if Fork's has a better library nowadays . . .

Shopping with Alice

"Alice, do I really need 13 pairs of lime green socks?" Edward asked as politely as he could, given the circumstances.

"Yes of course now calm down, oh look this one has a frog on it, and it ribbits," She said pointedly dangling the now ribbiting socks in front of him.

He winced at the sheer indignity, yet someone had made them.However for what purpose he didn't know. Surely not for wearing!

Alice was blocking him out. Her mind sounded like: 0+11, 1+12, 1+23, 2+35, 3+58, 5+813, 8+1321, 13+2134, and so on into the billions.

He honestly needed someone else to go shopping with. However, there was a predicament. Emmet went with Rose, Carlile with Esme, and Jasper went with Alice as well.

Sometimes he thought Alice took him shopping to make sure he felt like he was part of the family, and sometimes . . .

" Oh look these ones sing happy birthday in Spanish and are sweat proof!" she exclaimed, genuinely excited.

Jasper I don't know how you do it, but I don't think I can take this much longer!

Sooo . . . How'd you like it?

I know it's short but I don't know if I should continue or not.

Really, tell me if this sucks. R&R Please! Oh and review if you want another chapter 3
